| If faith most true a heart that cannot feign | C |
| If Love's sweet languishment and chasten'd thought | A |
| And wishes pure by nobler feelings taught | A |
| If in a labyrinth wanderings long and vain | C |
| If on the brow each pang pourtray'd to bear | D |
| Or from the heart low broken sounds to draw | E |
| Withheld by shame or check'd by pious awe | F |
| If on the faded cheek Love's hue to wear | D |
| If than myself to hold one far more dear | G |
| If sighs that cease not tears that ever flow | H |
| Wrung from the heart by all Love's various woe | H |
| In absence if consumed and chill'd when near | G |
| If these be ills in which I waste my prime | I |

| If fondest faith a heart to guile unknown | J |
| By melting languors the soft wish betray'd | A |
| If chaste desires with temper'd warmth display'd | A |
| If weary wanderings comfortless and lone | J |
| If every thought in every feature shown | J |
| Or in faint tones and broken sounds convey'd | A |
| As fear or shame my pallid cheek array'd | A |
| In violet hues with Love's thick blushes strown | J |
| If more than self another to hold dear | G |
| If still to weep and heave incessant sighs | K |
| To feed on passion or in grief to pine | J |
| To glow when distant and to freeze when near | G |
| If hence my bosom's anguish takes its rise | K |
| Thine lady is the crime the punishment is mine | J |
